President of federal republic of nigeria Muhammadu Buhari has told Nigerians that they have not reason to wail for hunger as God has blessed nigeria with farmlands and rain.
The president made this comment during an interview with Tambarian Hausa TV, in Kano state on Wednesday November 2 2022.
During the in interview, Buhari reveled that one of the policies he abided to when he assumed the presidential seat in 2015 was to seal borders from importation of food and force people back to farmlands.
“I took the decision the stop rice importation and said we should farm what we eat or die of hunger. I said that since we have farmlands and God ha blessed us with rain ,what reason does a Nigerian have to say he’s hungry ?”,Buhari said.
“If you are hugry, go to the farm ,i’m aware that floods have ravaged some farmlands this seasn but we are stil selling rice made in Nigeria and we can feed ourselves .is that not an achievement? he added.
‘We have workers who left their air conditioned offices and went into farming ,and they had bounty harvests.so we are grateful” he said.
